Okay, I'll give Mickey some credit

Mick Shots - Nov. 6

"On Clinton Portis’ 38-yard touchdown run, not only did Keith Davis take a bad angle on the play to the left boundary, but fellow safety Roy Williams, even though he was on the opposite side of the field, also took too shallow of an angle to Portis, thus leaving him trailing badly down the sideline."

He described it very well. This is the same play me and my buddies were reviewing afew hours after the game.

HOWEVER, Mickey did forget to add that Ellis did not contain Portis from getting outside, which started the whole mess.

Three defensive mistakes on one play...OUCH!

He didn't forget. It's Ellis.

so is Mickey an Ellis homer and he INTENTIONALLY left out Ellis mistake?

Don't forget Henry. The corner back is the most outside guy on the defense. He let Lloyd get outside and screen him to the inside. If anyone of these guys does a better job, then that is not a TD.

It is funny -- when they lined up on the play, I thought, gee, Zimmer must be reading CowboysZone b/c he is moving Ware around (he flipped Ellis and Ware). See what happens when Zimmer listens to us? Ware would have at least slowed that play down.

Well, they've been doing it all year (switching sides). One bad play by Ellis doesn't exactly mean we should dumb down the defense.

yeppper...Henry got it handed to him!
THAt was embareassing!

To me that was Davis. Everyplayer is going to lose contain a couple times a game or there would be no runs outside. Davis was in perfect position to stop the play for a small gain and took the worst angle imaginable. You could see the moment he started to move that he wasn't going to get there in time. Bring back Woody!

Ware gets beat to the OUTSIDE way more than Ellis.
Watch the film.

Watch this year's film. You're wrong.

This poster hit the real problem.......

 

[UVAwahoos]

Does it really matter? I'm sure Mickey copy/pasted that thing from some real sportswriter's article only after asking Jerry Jones for permission to post it anyway. What a tool.

 

[Kilyin]

Ellis is too stiff and slow. Inspector Tutu made that obvious. Ware is great at stopping the run from what I've seen.

 

[2much2soon]

I was wondering if Brunell audibled to run the play to the side Ellis was on. Ware has run down faster guys than Portis on plays like that.

Even if one of the other 3 OLBs (Ware, Burnett, Carp) had lost containment, regardless of which side it is on, they are at least athletic and fast enough to make up some ground and get a piece of Portis IMO.

I just watched the breakdown of the film on DallasCowboys.com...I am not sure how Mick can blame Roy for the bad angle...cause if Davis had done what he was suppose to do Portis would of had to run right into Williams...if he had taken the angle Mickey suggested Portis would have cut back inside and kept running in that angle to the endzone...

this is how it was
